iCloud storage says it’s full

my iCloud storage says it’s full. I need assistants on what to do in this case. I already was paying .99cent a month to have more storage so I don’t understand what’s going on. I can’t update my phone, back it up or anything due to this. I do not want to lose anything I have.
